Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Helpful Hint
Equations are often easier to solve when the
variable has a positive coefficient. Keep this in
mind when deciding on which side to "collect"
variable terms.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Additional Example 1: Solving Equations with
Variables on Both Sides
Solve 7n – 2 = 5n + 6.
7n – 2 = 5n + 6
–5n
–5n
2n – 2 =
+2
2n
=
6
+2
8
To collect the variable terms on one
side, subtract 5n from both sides.
Since 2 is subtracted from 2n, add 2 to
undo the subtraction.
Since n is multiplied by 2, divide both
sides by 2 to undo the multiplication.

Solve 4b + 2 = 3b.
4b + 2 = 3b
–3b
–3b
b+2= 0
–2 –2
b = –2
To collect the variable terms on one
side, subtract 3b from both sides.
To isolate b, subtract 2 from both
sides.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Check It Out! Example 1b
Solve 0.5 + 0.3y = 0.7y – 0.3.
0.5 + 0.3y = 0.7y – 0.3
–0.3y –0.3y
0.5
= 0.4y – 0.3
+0.3
0.8
+ 0.3
= 0.4y
2=y
To collect the variable terms
on one side, subtract 0.3y
from both sides.
Since 0.3 is subtracted from
0.4y, add 0.3 to both sides
to undo the subtraction.
Since y is multiplied by 0.4,
divide both sides by 0.4 to
undo the multiplication.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
To solve more complicated
equations, you may need to first
simplify by using the Distributive
Property or combining like terms.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Additional Example 2: Simplifying Each Side Before
Solving Equations
Solve 4 – 6a + 4a = –1 – 5(7 – 2a).
4 – 6a + 4a = –1 –5(7 – 2a) Distribute –5 to the
expression in parentheses.
4 – 6a + 4a = –1 –5(7) –5(–2a)
4 – 6a + 4a = –1 – 35 + 10a
4 – 2a = –36 + 10a
+36
+36
40 – 2a =
+ 2a
40
=
10a
+2a
12a
Combine like terms.
Since –36 is added to 10a,
add 36 to both sides.
To collect the variable
terms on one side, add
2a to both sides.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Additional Example 2: Continued
Solve 4 – 6a + 4a = –1 – 5(7 – 2a).
40 = 12a
Since a is multiplied by 12,
divide both sides by 12.

Since 1 is subtracted from
b, add 1 to both sides.

2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Check It Out! Example 2b
Solve 3x + 15 – 9 = 2(x + 2).
3x + 15 – 9 = 2(x + 2) Distribute 2 to the expression
in parentheses.
3x + 15 – 9 = 2(x) + 2(2)
3x + 15 – 9 = 2x + 4
3x + 6 = 2x + 4
–2x
–2x
x+6=
–6
x = –2

–6
Subtract.
To collect the variable terms
on one side, subtract 2x
from both sides.
Since 6 is added to x, subtract
6 from both sides to undo
the addition.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
An identity is an equation that is always
true, no matter what value is substituted
for the variable. The solutions of an
identity are all real numbers. Some
equations are always false. They have no
solutions.

Additional Example 3A: Infinitely Many Solutions or
No Solutions
Solve 10 – 5x + 1 = 7x + 11 – 12x.
10 – 5x + 1 = 7x + 11 – 12x
10 – 5x + 1 = 7x + 11 – 12x Identify like terms.
11 – 5x = 11 – 5x Combine like terms on the left and the right.

Additional Example 3B: Infinitely Many Solutions or
No Solutions
Solve 12x – 3 + x = 5x – 4 + 8x.
12x – 3 + x = 5x – 4 + 8x

The equation 12x – 3 + x = 5x – 4 + 8x is a
contradiction. There is no value of x that will make
the equation true. There are no solutions.

Additional Example 4: Application
Jon and Sara are planting tulip bulbs. Jon has
planted 60 bulbs and is planting at a rate of 44
bulbs per hour. Sara has planted 96 bulbs and
is planting at a rate of 32 bulbs per hour. In
how many hours will Jon and Sara have planted
the same number of bulbs? How many bulbs
will that be?

60 + 44b = 96 + 32b To collect the variable terms
on one side, subtract 32b
– 32b
– 32b
from both sides.
60 + 12b = 96
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Additional Example 4 Continued
60 + 12b = 96
–60
– 60
12b = 36
b=3
Since 60 is added to 12b,
subtract 60 from both
sides.
Since b is multiplied by 12,
divide both sides by 12 to
undo the multiplication.
Solving Equations with
2-4 Variables on Both Sides
Additional Example 4 Continued
After 3 hours, Jon and Sara will have planted the
same number of bulbs. To find how many bulbs they
will have planted in 3 hours, evaluate either
expression for b = 3:
60 + 44b = 60 + 44(3) = 60 + 132 = 192
96 + 32b = 96 + 32(3) = 96 + 96 = 192
After 3 hours, Jon and Sara will each have planted
192 bulbs.
